Abstract
A duration of a program pulse used to program non-volatile memory cells such as NAND may be increased responsive to a programming failure using a shorter duration program pulse. The duration of at least one program pulse may be increased for at least one group of memory cells in response to a failure to program a group using a default program pulse duration. The group that experiences the increased duration program pulse may be the same group for which the program operation failed using the shorter program pulse or may be a different group than the group for which the program operation failed using the shorter program pulse.
